Will The Nu-Vampire Trend Please Die? Tonight?
12:15PM Foster Kamer | Remember the Tarantino/Rodriguez camp-fest that was From Dusk Til’ Dawn? George Clooney killed a bunch of south-of-the-border stripper/hooker-vampires using holy water-loaded Super Soakers. That was in 1996, and it should’ve been the end of vampire-cool. Now look where we are. More »

So-Called Seth Green Rant: Rubbish?
6:15PM Andrew Belonsky | Hmmm. A reader sent in this video of the usually affable Seth Green “freaking out” after getting jumped outside the set of a commercial. We call bullshit for at least two reasons. More »

Facebook Haters Have Turned On Nicole Kidman!
8:09AM Jess McGuire | Journalist Fiona Connolly recently used column inches in the Daily Telegraph to alert readers to an extremely concerning issue – people on Facebook dislike Nicole Kidman. In fact, they loathe Our Nic TM enough to actually start spiteful groups which cruelly mock Nicole, her forehead, and her acting ability! It seems too horrible to be true, I understand. But our intrepid reporter has investigated the issue thoroughly and reached the only conclusion a decent and upstanding citizen possibly could…. Facebook is full of evildoers.
From the expose:
Someone I know suggested I join the Facebook group, “Am I Taking Crazy Pills or is Nicole Kidman the Worst Actress in the World?” I don’t know why. I am completely indifferent as to whether Kidman’s acting skills are bad, very bad or indeed the worst in the world. And I don’t know what a crazy pill is supposed to be.
I think they are probably talking about ecstasy. Facebook users gulp these crazy pills by the fistful, as apparently they make the process of poking friends and strangers more pleasurable. Disgusting, I know.
Ms Connolly continues:
But I was not entirely surprised it existed – Facebookers are inherently unpleasant and Kidman has always polarised people.
Wahey! Hello there, sweeping statement! Facebookers are inherently unpleasant? Tell that to Dannii Minogue! She’s probably right though – other than the homosexuals (and yours truly) who make up People For The Ethical Treatment Of Dannii Minogue, the social networking hell that is Facebook is pretty much made up of the most vicious and cruel bitches to ever walk the earth, sit down in front of a computer, and send a virtual plant to an associate using the (Lil) Green Patch application.
She goes on: More »
